Honey's Healing Power

A BBC article from 2004 seems to be getting a lot of hits all of a sudden. It's mainly about manuka honey but does have stuff on the general antiseptic qualities of honey. Here's the link.

Save the Bumble Bee

Two species of British Bumble Bee have become extinct in the last 70 years and two more species are heading for extinction. The number of indigenous bees has decreased by about half over most of lowland Britain.

Pyrenees honey is asking you to do something now to help save the Bumble Bee by voting for the Bumble Bee Trust application to the National Lottery Fund for a grant to save these bees. Just go here

Bumble Bees are vital for pollinating crops in the UK - and throughout all their range.

Organic Royal Jelly

Pyreneeshoney has just taken delivery of a consignment of organic royal jelly from Antonio Simon. They're going to be selling this for £20 for 20 grams. I couldn't find any other organic royal jelly on the internet although I believe that there may be some French companies that sell organic royal jelly. Antonio is a small scale beekeeper is part of an organic community based to the north of Madrid in Spain. He is committed to producing pure honey and other bee products of the highest quality. Like all this products this is completely unprocessed.

You can buy the organic royal jelly here.

Pyrenees Honey Back at Churchill Square Farmers Market

First day back at Churchill Square Farmer's Market today. A beautiful clear day and a lot of people eager to buy some more raw honey - especially those suffering with colds.

We were also selling Isle of Wight garlic at half price (we ordered too much before Christmas and then a lot of markets were cancelled because of the weather, so we weren't able to sell it).

As long as the weather is good we'll be there every week from now on. The market is every Wednesday.

This is Karen anxiously surveying the sky for any sign of snow......or rain.

Raw Organic Pollen

Just picked up some boxes of Antonio's raw (not heated) organic pollen. We're doing a discount on a box of 12 jars, which will save you £18 a box + we're not charging for delivery. Go here to order the raw organic pollen.

Delivering honey to Betty and John

Two very good customers of ours John and Betty, who are very keen on the Eucalyptus honey recently came down to Brighton to stay with their son's family. Here's Karen delivering the honey to them. If you live in Brighton or Hove we will deliver to you too.

Firle Place - A few new ideas

Tried out a few new ideas for organic and natural products that people have been asking us about. We had a stall at Firle Place horse and dog show.

Our best day ever and the organic olive oil and premium quality Isle of Weight garlic in plaits were very popular.
